I mean yes PRX are INCREDIBLY good rn. But idk it sometimes feels as if Sen make mistakes they shouldn't. Granted I'm kinda hindsight harry and have xray + more info than the players do ... But sometimes Sen look amazing, and then they can immediately go into next round no longer looking cohesive. I personally don't have anyone to point fingers at, however, something is indeed causing an issue 🤷♂️. Still have high hopes for the team and this roster
Genuine fan over the course of this event
No, I don't know what vlr.gg is and have never used it before in my life :)
fine 💔 Timezones are cooked for me when I have work as well, but I could just be a vod larry you're right 😔
Just genuine curiosity + laziness to check myself. But are PRX running like "official" roles such as Something - Duelist, Patmen - init? Or are they doing it on a map by map basis? I haven't been watching any of the pacific games I just want to know what system they ended up going with and ultimately qualified to Toronto with, and I guess they've been playing well so I don't need to even ask if its working lol.
Do you guys think if Zander ended up on SEN like people were originally speculating, that SEN would still look more or less the same? Is 100T just a team full of great players who belong elsewhere or do you think they are just bad, I personally believe in the former option, but idk I tend to look at teams more positively.
It's really really early, but it's like there's been a cursed placed on this team, the VAL gods are against them
2024 C9 playoffs for both stage 1 and stage 2.
I don't even hate the team like that but them keeping the choke narrative alive is fun as a viewer
Family name usually appears first, Tae-oh and Tae-young are the given names, not just "oh" and "young".
hmm, I think C9 belong at top of B, maybe even in A, and Lev squeak into C. Idk just my thoughts.
I wanna know who is deciding the comps though, they were late to tejo during kickoff and even admitted it, but it still seems like they didn't think he would be strong on haven idk though
wait was this the issue? or just speculation
some over reactionary sen fans would lowk get mad when people praised sacy, and now I bet the same ones are the first to give up on narrate, almost convinced me that I was crazy for liking sacy so much. I still love narrate too but people have no chill i swear
I wish he didn't wanna be done unless he's playing with fns 🥲 but can't blame him ig, streaming is a way better balance of life
Yeah this was actually an upset pretty much the whole way through they were nowhere near favorites by most people, even I had my doubts but tbh I didn't think anyone had huge chance of winning so idk. But yeah sad for the G2 boys and happy for T1
I actually love the players but there's just the ongoing banter/"beef" between Sen and G2 so I like to play into that. But in reality I don't dislike em at all tbh, I will root for them since they represent Americas for Bangkok
they wanted him to sub in and play😂
I would only say NRG since the previous year's "super team" had the excuse of no seasoned igl then just no time together in the second split when s0m and fns came back. This year they brought in new talent and actually seemed like a "super team" (even though most people shouldn't by into the hype until at least some results). Idk how people felt about fnatic and wolves, but it has also felt like people started believing in prx less and less after last year.
m80 only lost to 2G last year because Zander foresaw TenZ retiring, leading to Zander being picked up by 100T
Jokes aside I do hope 2G turn it around maybe after first masters bc I do not see a comeback happening. It must feel bad to grind through ascension and then get rolled after being promoted, especially after seeing G2 (The Guard) do well in Masters and make champs, kind of representing the skillset of Americas ascension teams.
Ludwig kinda pressured him this off season at the ludwig x tarik event, and a lot of it was about T2 since Ludwig is invested in it. But I mean at the end of the day, Leo is pretty good at giving the PR answers (it is his job ofc). But whenever Ludwig and him are together, he does make an effort to try and grill Leo about decisions being made.
This is most likely because I was just mega sleeping on Verno and didn't watch too many Tier 2 games, but I was expecting Mada to be NRG's "MVP", but with every game it is Verno for me. I knew he was good (all of NRG really), but he's become a fav player for me
so uh, how bout that C9 news huh?😅 (no i'm not distracting from the loss 🥲)

Fair, I think we're both on the understanding that obviously the blame lies within the actual chatters themselves than Shanks. I just think it comes from that, assuming most people in these chats are young and immature, they see Shanks laughing and in turn feel the need to contribute. I guess I wouldn't say Shanks share direct responsibility since, as you brought up, it wasn't as if he straight up told anyone to say what they did. Tbh, I'm sure much of my thoughts are coming from an overall point of view on how I feel about the internet, as there are 100% people far worse than Shanks and intentionally try to contribute to the issue, but yeah most of the time ppl do it for attention and seeing someone laugh about it might add to the encouragement. Then again, a VLR thread about the issue also counts as a form of attention towards the matter so ig I'm part of the problem.
I don't necessarily think that it's trying to scapegoat shanks but more just kind of the shift that offensive doesn't equal funny. And that while dark humor can exist and be funny there's an obvious line. Yes it is easy to point to other examples/other people that are worse or how it was common in earlier ages of internet, but I think it is more that people who enable it (i.e. Shanks in this case) only contribute to the matter. Whether it means Shanks himself is horrible or racist or whatever is up to individual interpretation, but actively enabling it definitely isn't doing anyone good. There are arguments trying to say that people are "soft" or "lack personality" but as I mentioned before just outright saying slurs or making SA statements isn't funny I feel. Again, Shanks isn't to blame for the big picture issue with how the internet is, but enabling it will cause more harm than good.
always knew he was amazing on raze but idk why I was so so late to see that he is probably the best raze player
It's mainly speculation, but it is backed up by some small sample sizes of the Sen city classic voice comms, and the fact that C9 announced it was due to IGL style, and in past years the IGL style was very free, they definitely joked about the "oxy go kill" thing a lot. Obvi no exact way to tell and jokes are just jokes so its just a guess. And it also could be a thing where even if he wasn't "micromanaging" he probably did want some change whether it be for more discipline, or maybe he was more aggressive when it came to holding people accountable than they were used to idk. Some players care about that, other don't we'll never know fs until C9 players themselves say, but past Rossy teammates like iZu are very confused so I would guess that he's not mean and players understand there's just a desire to win, but idk maybe C9 weren't expecting that even if winning came as a result 🤷♂️.
